Get to know B. Ingrid Olson’s sculptural, photographic, and performative practice during a dynamic presentation.
Recently featured in the 2024 Whitney Biennial, Olson’s work investigates the boundaries between body and space. During this free talk, she shares insights about this exploration and the resulting images and relief sculptures. Come away with a deeper understanding of how Olson incorporates multiple perspectives and meanings through both her process and finished pieces. In her image-based works, photographs taken in Olson’s studio are cropped, collaged, and layered. The artist’s head, torso, and limbs are often camouflaged or fragmented and sometimes obscured from view. Her machine-carved relief sculptures look like the inside of a piece of armor or casting molds, suggesting an absent body. A conversation and audience Q&A with Olson and a graduate student in Ohio State’s Department of Art follows the presentation.
